Preface
We thank you very much that you have decided to buy the CNC Controller made by Optimum
Maschinen Germany GmbH.
Changes The illustration of the CNC Controller might in some details deviate from the illustrations of this
operating manual but this will have no influence on the operation of the CNC Controller.
Any changes in the construction, equipment and accessories are reserved for reasons of
enhancement. Therefore, no claims may be derived from the indications and descriptions.
Errors excepted!
We wish you lots of success!
